Contains Sound Wisdom
Either one of two things would
make this section greatly prosper
ous in a short time viz Organize
an irriguion company and irrigate
all of the valley lands when small
farmers would flock to them like
old timers did to the gold mines of
California or let the land owners
form a company and induce tin
coming of farmers in large numbers
that thousand of acres of the rich
valley lands be cultivated at once
and thus relegate dronthy years to
the pn6t The irrigated farm is in
dependent in a laige measure of the
rainftll and Mho man with the
hue in laige number is solid
